I'm starting to hear Democratic politicians talk about hitting back
harder in a gerrymandering war. This is a bad idea. If every state
maximizes the state majority party's advantage the Republican advantage
in the house will go up from 5 to 10. Newsom's tit-for-tat, exactly
matching a GOP gain in Texas is a good idea in itself, but as in most
wars it is likely to lead to tit-for-tat-tat.
I don't know what to do about this. My only idea is the Newsom might
only add 4 Dem seats instead of 5. A tit-for-ta tactic. And then rely
on flipping a Republican seat or two without changing districts. But if
(1) the anti-Trump Congress critturs don't have majority in 2026 and (2)
they don't grow spine Trump is going roll over Congress and the
Judiciary and make himself Diktator for life (which fortunately won't be
long).
